About Begbie Falls, British Columbia, Canada

Begbie Falls is a popular waterfall attraction, beach, and camping area which is located in the picturesque mountain town of Revelstoke, British Columbia. The falls are situated at the exit of Begbie Creek where it flows out into Upper Arrow Lake which is part of the gorgeous Shuswap region of the province.

Begbie Creek is the result of glacial runoff that comes from the 2,733 m (8,967 ft)  behemoth of a mountain known as Mount Begbie, which contains a subarctic climate and carries snow on its peaks year-round. As you can imagine Begbie Falls remains ice-cold at all times and as such makes the water around the beach freezing but on a hot summer day, it may be a nice place to have a swim and cool off.

The Begbie Falls Trail is a 5 km round trip hiking and is rated as moderate in difficulty.

There is a day-use area at the end of Begbie Falls Forest Service Road where the falls and beach are. The campground is around just before the falls and has 25 campsites that cost $15.00 a night.
